profundamente superficial

Cuando le digo a la gente que Andy Warhol es uno de mis héroes, la primera reacción de muchos es decir que no es posible, que él no era un artista, que todo lo que hizo fue basura y sha la la, no hablan mas que mierda del señor. Lo que muchos no ven, es que obviamente él no quería ser el siguiente Miguel Ángel, él sólo quería un trabajo y cuando vio que el arte da trabajo y dinero, él sólo quiso ser el empleado del mes, así que explotó su capacidad y en el inter hizo creer a la gente que todo lo ordinario puede ser arte si se muestra de la manera correcta, de una manera diferente, justo lo que hizo él, y como artista, Warhol fue el mejor publicista, he aquí unas citas que lo demuestran.

Ah sí, y yo no soy artista, yo soy una simple publicista que no ejerce y que hace como que escribe a veces.
